Seaf-server.pid does not exist

[Glenn B. Jakobsen]

After moving Data directory Seaf-server is not able to create a pid file.

Running Linux:

HOST:~/logs$ uname -a

Linux HOST 3.13-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.13.10-1 (2014-04-15) x86_64 GNU/Linux

HOST:~/logs$ lsb_release -irc

Distributor ID: Debian

Release:        testing

Codename:       jessie

Seafile server version: 3.1.3 x64

I've checked permission and the user has access to create files in the pid directory, other pids are created fine in the same location.

If I change ccnet/seafile.ini back to the original directory everything works perfectly again.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

This issue is resolved.

I needed to restart the server in order to get it to work. Even though there was no indication hereof.
